Java Relational Operators

In this chapter you will learn:

1. What are the relational operators in Java

Relational Operators and their operations

Java relational operators determine the relationship between two operands. The relational operators in Java are:

For example, the following code fragment is perfectly valid. It compares two int values and assign the result to boolean value c.

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] argv) {
    int a = 4;//  j  ava2 s .  c om
    int b = 1;
    boolean c = a < b;

    System.out.println("c is " + c);
  }
}

The result of a < b (which is false) is stored in c.

The outcome of a relational operator is a boolean value. In the following code, the System.out.println outputs the result of a relational operator.

public class Main {
  public static void main(String args[]) {
    // outcome of a relational operator is a boolean value
    System.out.println("10 > 9 is " + (10 > 9));
  }/* j  a v a 2s. co m*/
}

The output generated by this program is shown here:
